Seychelles
The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, and it holds some of the oldest granite islands on Earth — remnants of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana — a geological rarity, since most oceanic islands worldwide are volcanic in origin rather than granite. The islands are home to the Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed palm forest that's one of only two places in the world where the coco de mer palm grows naturally, producing the largest and heaviest seed of any plant on Earth, weighing up to 40 pounds. Aldabra Atoll, a remote Seychellois atoll and separate UNESCO World Heritage Site, hosts the largest population of giant tortoises anywhere in the world, a population that's thrived specifically because of the atoll's extreme remoteness and the near-total absence of human settlement or introduced predators. The Seychelles's combination of its rare ancient granite geology, the unique coco de mer palm forest found almost nowhere else on Earth, and Aldabra Atoll's giant tortoise population has made it one of the most ecologically unique and scientifically significant island nations anywhere in the world.
VS
Capri, Italy
Capri has drawn wealthy and famous visitors since the Roman era, when Emperor Tiberius reportedly ruled the empire from the island for roughly the last decade of his life, building multiple villas across its cliffs, including the ruins of Villa Jovis, which still stand near the island's highest point today. The island's Blue Grotto, a sea cave illuminated by an eerie, vivid blue light created by sunlight refracting through an underwater cavity and passing through the seawater, has drawn visitors since the 19th century, when the cave was popularized among Northern European travelers on the Grand Tour. Capri became a favored retreat for international celebrities and jet-setters through the mid-20th century, a reputation the island has actively maintained through its upscale boutiques, luxury hotels, and the Faraglioni, a set of three dramatic limestone sea stacks rising directly out of the water that's become one of the island's most photographed natural landmarks. Capri's combination of its Roman imperial history, the naturally illuminated Blue Grotto, and its enduring 20th-century celebrity-retreat reputation has made it one of the most storied and consistently glamorous island destinations in the entire Mediterranean.
